Nasa plaza na ulit ako at makapal na rin ang mga tao dahil lahat nga ng seniors ay nandito para sa physical task na ibinigay ng school. Ito na yung assessment namin sa fitness qurarter.
"Sa'n ka naman nanggaling kanina?"
"Walk-out ka dahil kay Isen, noh!"
"Bruha ka talaga! Bat mo naman iniwan."
Hindi na naman tumitigil ang pang-aasar nina Facy sa akin.
"Let me repeat it, okay?" for the nth time kong sabi sa kanila. "Wala nga akong gusto dun."
They zipped their mouths but I know they're mocking me. Bakit kasi gustong-gusto nila akong iship dun sa lalaking iyon? Wala ba silang naapapansin na kakaiba sa kaniya?
Sa bagay, hindi nga nila nalaman na isa akong espiya. Paano pa kaya ang iba?
Natapos na professor namin na magpaliwanag tungkol sa bagong task.
Marami ang kinakabahan dahil sa banta niyang i-eexpel niya ang last place kaya naman naghanda talaga ang lahat.
The rule in the game is that there is not rule at all.
"Sandraaaaaa!" ang ingay na iyon ay nagmula kay Facy. "Ano namang gagawin ko sa ability ko?"
"Uh-- marami rin naman sigurong hindi akma ang abilidad sa gawaing ito, don't worry you're great."
Yumakap lang ito sa akin at nag-cling. When they do stuff like this, guilt always strikes me. Everything I'm doing for my Region is one step farther from them.
Lumunok naman si Loony. Her face paints confusion. "Sa tingin nyo ba, kaya ko 'yan?"
Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Facy.
"Of course!" we chorused. Nginitian namin ang isa't-isa, a simple assurance that no one of us would fail.
Hindi naman angtagal ay nagsimula na rin simpleng activity para sa araw na ito.
"First thrower, Isen Anderson!" our professor barked at us.
I widened my view. Kailangan kong magconcentrate sa bawat galaw niya. Dahil ngayon, VIP na siya sa mga pinagmamanmanan ko.
I watched him take stance. And all I could observe is his unyielding confidence. He's strength-- I reached for it. And as soon as I tugged the invisible threads of energy within him, naramdaman ko rin ang init na nagmumula sa kaniya. It was an undying heat that blazes from his veins to his skin.
Bago pa man lumipad ang bola sa ere, nilagyan niya ito ng bahagi ng kaniyang ability. The heat generated from his inside to his nerves to his skin until it collided with the ball on contact.
After a split second, all we saw is a burning ball already flying hundred feet from the ground. It soared too high that it faded from our vision.
Napakagandang debut nito para sa kaniya. He will have a good impression lalo na sa mga faculty staffs and members na kasulukuyang nanonood. Maybe, they'll even consider him a good fight for the bloody moon ekimination.
There is an automatic namang meter reader attached to the magic ball. The MR will show us the highest peak of the throw.
"Three thousand meters!" anunsyo ng prof dahilan para magsigawan ang lahat. Ang kaniyang boses ay lalong namagnify ng speaker kaya naman sobrang lakas talaga ng kabog nito sa sistema namin.
Nang makita ni Isen na magflash ang kaniyang pangalan at ID picture sa monitor ay kaagad naman bumalik sa pwesto niya, amongst the crowd that just went crazy for him.
Laking gulat ko na lang nang tumingin siya sa direksyon ko habang naglalakad. He gave me something I know will keep bugging my mind off--
His soft lips, revealed his soft features. Something that would remind me of gentleness, purity, and chivalry.
